   Some are better then others, it’s a really cool effect when done properly. Otherwise it just looks blurry, there’s a photoshop tutorial somewhere on how to do that, should find it and try it out sometime. Really nice collection.

   i really enjoyed looking at these. i’ve tried this technique before and didn’t feel my outcome to be perfect, but as always, practice makes perfect. but these are some really good ones.

   hahaha this is lies. you can see how any details that might give this away are suspiciously blurred out. These are in fact miniatures. look closely at the vegetation. in the very first picture we see the water is blurred out. water features in miniatures is very easily spotted as fake and – SURPRISE! – its blurred out. the REAL obvious fake is the one of the airport. with dozens of large aircraft stacked mere inches (or is that feet? away from each other with dozens of people disembarking, milling around and generally wandering along with expensive sports cars parked in between and under aircraft wings. this would never EVER happen in reality.

   in my opinion these pictures are a mix of real photos of miniatures, altered photos of real places and photoshopped mixes of both – miniatures inserted into real places.

   Thanks Digg for a whole new pile of bullsh*t you call headlines!

    FYI, tilt-shift photography is properly done with a tilt-shift lens. Although, it is one of the few Photoshop techniques that provides almost the same effect as the real lens does.

    If you get a chance, watch the “Site Specific” films by director Olivo Barbieri. He does this effect in real life with fly-overs in a helicopter of major cities using a film camera with a special lens. It is quite amazing.

    The Sundance Channel shows them every once in a while.

    First off, look at that old west train station looking picture…Real place? yea right thats clearly a model…There are pictures that you can tell are real and the effect applied via photoshop, but then theres other where real objects were c&p’d into models or the picture is clearly of a model to begin with. Call me wrong but these pictures are either fake, or altered so much that their not even remotely close to what the origional exposure was, so its not photography at that point its digital art, so stop calling this photography please.

18. Sofake
    July 21st, 2008 at 4:14 am

    

    PS: if their so real: why not post the original exposure for a side by side comparison “artists”?

    July 21st, 2008 at 4:52 am

    

    @ sofake – The pic of the old west train station is a roller coaster ride at Disney world. To answer your other question: I don’t have the original pics.
    These are all real.

20. RatFink
    July 21st, 2008 at 5:02 am

    

    It seems the effect is most successful the higher camera is from the ground.

    The old west train station is fake, but not in the way you think. The buildings and such are props on the Big Thunder Railroad in Disneyland. But they are full life sized buildings.

    The technique itself is actually called in the in-camera world a reverse Scheimpflug (pronounced “shime-floog”)

    Pretty sweet effect!

22. RatFink
    July 21st, 2008 at 5:19 am

    

    @sofake

    The effect isn’t always created in photoshop. It would be impossible for those that used a large format camera with bellows or a small or medium format with a tilt shift lens as the final effect (minus playing with the saturation) would be what you see.

    I spent the first scroll through these photos thinking, “These are fairly poor photos of model sets” and then I stopped, when back and actually read the description at the top. Then I went through them again, marvelling at what a clever technique it is, and how stupid I am. Great stuff! Thanks!

    @nobody3432 re your comment on the planes photo: This is not a public airport where people are disembarking. This is a expo-like environment or fly-in; they happen all the time. The NBAA expo (which I’ve attended) is a good example of which real pictures of these are http://flickr.com/photos/10924087@N02/1000338172/ and http://flickr.com/photos/10924087@N02/999487295/. Looking closer at the photo above in question, you can even see the single engine Cessa in the center of the photo with tail number N1484B is a real plane – http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N1484B. Another N-number you can see easily at http://www.flickr.com/photos/drmyeye/2369833295/in/photostream/ which is done by the same photographer. The tail number on a 172 Cessna with the red stripe is N2209H and you can see that is a real plane at http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N2209H. This fly in was flown under VFR and no flight plan was filed so it is hard to determine exactly where, but it was certainly in southern california or baja california. I love how people make blatantly ignorant observations about something of which they clearly have no knowledge.

    @Henrik If you look at the original it’s pretty obvious that it’s the same picture. http://www.flickr.com/photos/drmyeye/2367827666/in/set-72157604336475304/

    Looks to me like “Dr.My.Eye’s” (the photographer) used a picure of a brick wall and photoshopped it in to help complete the illusion. The original picture had a big expanse of sky and the brick wall just helps make it look like a tabletop.

    I’m sure some are real, but not as many as one would think. For example, the first pic under “alex” actually has a brick wall in the background. Others also appear to have a comparatively giant background… almost like they actually are miniatures. In others, the foliage’s color is so consistent it seems fake too.

42. Black Sails
    July 26th, 2008 at 12:09 am

    

    Phoosh, thte brick wall was photoshopped in to complete the illusion. Take a minute and google a tutorial and you’ll see how this is done. The color looks the way it does because it is essential to boost the saturation on these photos to make them look fake.

    Tilt/Shift lenses are amazing tools for photographing architecture and does have a more extreme effect when taken from above. The brick wall could be in the extreme foreground and used to frame the image. Perhaps an overpass or the inside of a building?

You can see the lines in the wooden table they’re on!! And not to mention the planes, like someone else did… I just happen to know a thing or two about planes and airfields, and there’s no way in hell someone would taxi them so close. Not even for a sale. If so they would be lined up next to eachother – NOT parked like that.

    Seriously how dense do you think we are? And it’s a friggen insult that you keep insisting that they’re all real. To the rest of you: GROW SOME FRIGGEN EYES or start wearing glasses! There’s something seriously wrong with you.

    I suppose it should come as no surprise to see so many people whining that these fakes are fakes (oh the internet), particularly hilarious are the comments of “it’s so obviously a fake, look at the depth of field” and “look at the color of the foliage.” Perhaps I am the only person who read the opening paragraph where it says “The process involves using Photoshop to fake a shallow depth of field and punching up the color saturation.”?

    Thanks for the nice collection, and to the artists, nice work. My only gripe, it would be nice to see before and after shots.

    Oh, BTW, if you look at the one with the brick wall you thickos might also notice that the ground floor of the building is in sharper focus than the upper floors. This shows that the artsit goofed a little – this could not occur if Alex took a photo of a miniature. Try St Stephen’s tower too (Big Ben to the cretins) – the roof of the building to the right is sharp too. Really goos work though! Love it

    To all those who pointing out how fake these are, you obviously did not read the caption. These are photographs of miniatures and it clearly says so! No one is hiding that.

    These images are cute but lack atmosphere, that is what stands out to me the most. With a little atmosphere these pics actually stand a chance of being deceptively realistic.

     The snowy ones and the broken boat in the water are the best! Most of this type of photography is done using a tilt-shift lens, so it’s impressive to see that Photoshop can mimic this technique so well. I think it’s funny that people are accusing these pics of being fake when manipulating them in Photoshop is, technically, making them fake as well (if some of them are actually models). It’s still a nice effect!

     Thanks D.A.T for the intro to a new “i wanna try that!” And thanks to George (http://digital-artist-toolbox.com/?p=24#comment-11184) for posting the link to your tutorial.

     I do feel like i stepped into the dark ages tho reading thru the comments. It seems only a few can read these days … and even more are totally unaware of how much is digitally tweaked. In other words they are unaware of how foolish they look running about screaming “black magic” while pointing at a designed occurrence of photographic art.

     Perhaps it is even Neanderthal to feel the need to run from page to page screaming “fire” … i mean “electricity” no wait “photoshopped”.

     Yes, the point is this … a great work of photographic art is and always has been best friends with photograph media manipulation. And only someone from the Neanderthal age would be unaware … and thus feel the need to scream out in horror at every photographic manipulation as if it was a newly found terror that could never be harnessed, understood, nor used to a benefit nor enjoyment.

     I look forward to getting to know the D.A.T blog better. TY
